Aisling clenched her hands in anticipation.
She could feel that today was the day.
The day she'd find the person to spirit-lead.
She had been waiting for this day since the time she found out she was a spirit-wanderer.

Will they appreciate her guidance like they should?
Or will they ignore her and push her away?
She took a deep breath.
It was time to find out.

Below him a good-sized town sprawled out, watchtowers rising from the landscape.
As soon as he got through the gate, Valen cracked his knuckles.
Time to start over.
